While sales of all auto companies are falling behind because of the business turndown, Chrysler leads them down with a hefty 39% drop in mid-January under last year. What is worse, the models hardest hit are the very ones that were counted on for the best sales-Dodge Dart, Plymouth and Valiant. The Dart, a big reason for Chrysler's good year in 1960, is selling poorly this year. The new Lancer compact, sold by Dodge dealers, has not caught...
Henry Cowell, 63, turned up in Kansas City for the première of his 22-minute Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra. Using 64 percussion instruments, the concerto featured five percussion "soloists," whose duties proved so complex that they had to dart about the stage. Among the instruments employed: Chinese gongs, temple blocks, tom-toms, marimbas, vibraphones, Pyrex mixing bowls, a xylophone, a celesta, a glockenspiel.

Autos. For the first time since 1957 Chrysler Corp. managed to make a third-quarter profit due to the sales of the compact Valiant and the Dodge Dart. While only $1.4 million, it compared with a loss of $34.2 million last year. Nine-month earnings were also ahead, $2.84 per share this year v. $2.73 last year. On the other hand, earnings of General Motors, hit by high tooling costs for its new compact cars, dropped 34% in the third quarter from 47^ per share to 30^ on a 5% sales increase. Nine-months earnings also ran behind a year...
Both the Dodge Dart and the medium-priced Dodge have been sharply restyled, have a sleeker silhouette and a recessed grill...
